100 000 000 000; short scale: one hundred billion; long scale: hundred thousand million, or hundred milliard) Astronomy: There are 100 billion planets located in the Milky Way. [30] [31] Biology – Neurons in the brain: approximately (1±0.2) × 10 11 neurons in the human brain. [32]
A city lot 70 by 100 feet is about a million square inches. Volume: The cube root of one million is one hundred, so a million objects or cubic units is contained in a cube a hundred objects or linear units on a side. A million grains of table salt or granulated sugar occupies about 64 mL (2.3 imp fl oz; 2.2 US fl oz), the volume of a cube one ...

For example, there is one order of magnitude between 2 and 20, and two orders of magnitude between 2 and 200. Each division or multiplication by 10 is called an order of magnitude. [ 3 ] This phrasing helps quickly express the difference in scale between 2 and 2,000,000: they differ by 6 orders of magnitude.
